In Season 3, Episode 3 of "The Sex Lives of College Girls," the girls welcome their fresh roommate, Kacey, who transferred to their dorm solely to be with her beau, Calvin. Calvin had gifted her a promise ring as a token of their commitment to abstain from sexual intimacy until their wedding day.
Kimberly finds herself in a conversation with Eli about her lack of experience dating bisexual men. Eli mentions that many girls struggle with it, but Kimberly remains confident that she won't feel insecure. However, her resolve begins to waver when she realizes how vastly different Eli's usual preferences are from her own. Lila offers her counsel, suggesting she cater to his tastes and embrace a more daring persona to sustain his interest. Taking her advice, Kimberly ventures into a sex shop.
When Kimberly attempts to introduce Calvin to a new dimension in their bedroom antics, he gently rejects her advances, stating that it's not what he desires. Embarrassed and startled, she abruptly leaves the room. Whitney steps in to advise her to engage in an open dialogue with Calvin to discover his true preferences.
Heeding Whitney's advice, Kimberly apologizes to Eli for her abrupt behavior. They reconcile swiftly, engaging in a passionate kiss without the aid of any sex toys.
Elsewhere, Whitney's professor commends her on an exceptional paper and encourages her to consider majoring in African American Studies. Given her hectic schedule filled with STEM courses and soccer, Whitney expresses doubts about the profitability of such a path.
The professor is obviously insulted. Whitney thinks she’s picking on her when she calls on her in class when she isn’t paying attention.
Later, at soccer practice, she continues to struggle to compete against Rina. The coach even decides to give Rina her position for the next game. Whitney blames herself, thinking she put too much on her plate this year. So, she’s going to drop African American studies to free up some time.
But after she is discriminated against in a STEM lab (the “one-size-fits-all” caps don’t fit over her braids, so she’s asked to sit out), she goes to talk to her African American Studies professor.
The teacher clarifies that she called on her in class because she thought she’d like to talk about the Black women in science who came before her. Whitney agrees and decides to reenroll in her class, although she’s not quite ready for a double major.
Meanwhile, Taylor convinces Bela to ask out Arvind, even though he’s too nice to be her usual type.
During their lunch, Arvind saves Carla from choking and Bela suddenly finds herself attracted to him. It turns out she can be “horny for nice.”
However, she soon learns he has a girlfriend, another FAF named Emily. Taylor advises her to text Arvind that she can’t wait to be in his bed tonight and then tell him it was meant for someone else. Bela says that’s the kind of thing she would have done last year, but she wants to handle things more maturely now.
Yet, upon witnessing joyful couples embracing the campus ambiance, she reverses her decision and taps out the message. In due course, her suitemates come across Kacey's beau, Calvin. Kimberly recalls a fleeting glimpse of Calvin locking lips with another lass at a bash the previous year. However, they collectively refrain from breaking the news to Kacy, fearing it might disrupt the life of a relative stranger in an awkward twist.
But fate conspired against their silence when they witnessed Calvin unmistakably canoodling with a girl at another party. That was when they realized it was imperative to inform her. Kacey storms in and confronts him head-on. Calvin confesses to indulging in intimate relations with another, despite bestowing her with a promise ring.
In the aftermath of their tumultuous split, Kacey expresses her gratitude to her friends for standing by her side. Together, they trek back to their suite, united in camaraderie.
